im feeling low.

[lung cancer]

i only have 5 months to live, havent had a woman in 8 years. Im 32. Whats the point in living?

[Octavius]

The point (or meaning) of life is a very philosophical subject that covers many meritorious boundaries, concepts and ideas, that one can only find the answer themselves. Nobody could really explain to anyone why they should live, nor how they should live, merely either lead by example or provide functional thought within the conscious and subconscious realities that we all share at this moment in earth time. Philosophers and theologians have been debating for millennia and I think even they expired before they really found out the answers to all of life�s mysteries. A person would need to seek their own purposeful existence to a satisfactory conclusion and discover for themselves, the whole meaning of life, survival and existence and what that means to them.

Go and have a nice pint and a curry. It will perk you up.

[LoftyLottie]

Please phone the Samaritans and have a chat with someone who wil perhaps understand how you feel, or at least be a listening ear for you. They might also put you in touch with an organisation that can help.

With my very best wishes to you.

Its a stupid wind up!! Ignore it.

[LoftyLottie]

No Sally. It may well be a wind up but it may not be. If I give a genuine answer then noone gets hurt and no harm is done, so there is no problem.

[888sally888]

With a name like lung cancer?

btw my dad died of lung cancer very slowly and painfully so i have no sympathy for some idiot thinking this is a good name.

Sorry it sucks!

PS I never normally get angry!

[razmataz]

I am so sorry you feel this way. I think you should call the Samaritans right away:


UK: 08457 90 90 90

You are not alone. There are people who care about you and we are here for you. Keep us updated.


Sally: how can you be so sure ?

[Octavius]

Actually there is, because people (on this site/or their close friends/ partners) are genuinely going through this inner torment and this dullard is making a mockery of those real -life situations, and the people actually trying to get through them.

[888sally888]

TBH I cant be sure but just seeing the name lung cancer made me think that no one could honestly use that as a name.

I am not a nasty person - just a very upset one.

[lung cancer]

thats my condition! U are shallow idiots. If you saw me you can tell im ill. So why hide my illness! Selfish.

[Octavius]

Me too sally, I - and many people on AB and elsehwere - have had to deal with the blunt end of cancer and suicide with loved ones.

Of course it is no joking matter, which is why I abhor such posts.

[bigmamma]

This poster has posted before in chatterbank with the sole purpose of stirring things up . This aber was told then how much it upset people on here who have either lost relatives and friends through this awful disease , or those going through it themselves. I hoped we had seen the last of their sick- minded threads. Alas not :-(

[888sally888]

My hunch was right - what a sick sad person.

Maybe he would like a chat about lung cancer some time.

[gelda]

I've got lung cancer also bone and breast cancer, I know inside that I probably haven't got long but everyone thought I was going to die 2 years ago and I'm still here now! life isn't that much fun but I try to be positive and live as normal a life as possible. a friend of mine had stomach cancer and was only given months to live but she's still here 10 years later. So keep thinking possitive, nobody can tell how long anyone has to live. I wish you well. Gelda x

[LoftyLottie]

I still think we have to take posts seriously unless we KNOW otherwise. Bigmamma has told us about it now, but I don't regret giving a sensible answer and will continue to do so to other similar posts.

[razmataz]

Well my mother died of cancer and I would not like to think that someone could come on this thread with this name/story and not be genuine. LC-if you are genuine could you try to convey rationally what you are trying to say. I never want to pre-judge a situation without the facts, even if this does seem less than sincere.

[Octavius]

How could you EVER know?

Isn't that the point of this poster, playing on peoples fears, emotions and guilt?

[LoftyLottie]

Best wishes to you Gelda. You are doing so well. What a lovely attitude you have x. We none of us know how long we have.

[razmataz]

I really admire you Gelda for your positive outlook. Look after yourself.

[razmataz]

That's right Octavius I don't know so in the meantime I posted the number of the Samaritans in case the questioner is genuine.
